American bobsledder defends daughters' moment with Ivanka Trump at Olympics

Team USA bobsledder Nate Weber has been soaking in his last few days in PyeongChang, South Korea, with his family.

That’s not unusual, and generally doesn’t garner public attention. Most athletes from all over the world have been simply trying to enjoy the final few moments of the 2018 Olympics after finishing their respective events.

Weber responded to the “haters” on Sunday, restating how great of a time his family had with Trump and saying that Trump and his daughters “were like best friends” when they were together.

He even responded to some people specifically, too.

Here's another tweet for everyone that didn't like @IvankaTrump being absolutely wonderful to my children. Her and my daughters were like best friends today. It was a truly special experience for them. #thankyoupic.twitter.com/u6hlVUJonz

Weber made it clear on Twitter that this move wasn’t at all a political stance. All he wanted, he said, was to simply make his Olympic experience even better for him and his family.

It looks like he did just that.

I'm glad someone saw the point of this. It didn't matter if it was an Obama, a Bush, a Reagan, a Clinton, or a Trump. It was just someone in a position to do so making the #Olympics that much more special for my kids. I appreciate that. Coming together is the Olympic spirit.
